Tips & Tricks

General

• Keep an eye on the timer! Make sure you **and** the cart are back near Mom when she's done talking!
• Running is awfully loud! Remember to sneak when you can. It helps.

Employees

• If an employee doesn't see you enter a cart, they won't know you're in there... Unless they bump in to you by accident.
• Employees only look right in front of themselves, but they'll turn to look at something if it makes enough noise.
• If an employee starts chasing you, try to lose them around corners. If they can't find you, they'll stop chasing you.

Toys & Items

• Throw toys you've found into Mom's cart for safe keeping. After all, they're worth points.
• Toys are heavy. You can't run and make a lot of noise while carrying them.
• You don't have to collect every toy to win, but you do if you want to get the highest score and start playing for fastest time!
• Those small cans make for great distractions. Just pick them up and throw them!

Carts

• You can scoot a cart along while you're inside, but only along the axis the cart is facing. Hopping in to a cart will also carry some momentum.
• Mom's cart can be moved just like every other cart in the
